The Camogli Health Center ( English Camogli Healthcare Center ) is the only hospital of Tristan da Cunha , an equal part of the British overseas territory of St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha . It is located in Edinburgh of the Seven Seas .
The center was built from November 2016 to June 2017 and opened on June 9, 2017. In addition to a doctor, five nurses work here. The health center replaces the previous Camogli Hospital (English Camogli Hospital ), which is to be converted into a retirement home and apartments.
History of the hospital
The hospital was built in 1971 and replaced the provisional ward hospital built in 1942 . Before 1942 there were no residents on the island with medical training, so the residents of the place either had to help themselves or seek help on a ship. The hospital was named after Camogli , the hometown of two Italian settlers who arrived on the island in 1892. Today the hospital is equipped with an accident and emergency room , a delivery room , an operating room, a waiting room, an X-ray facility and a dental practice. There are also rooms for dental care in the building. In addition to a doctor, there are five nurses working at Camogli Hospital .
